Из предисловия
Jun. 5th, 2014 09:13 pmIt’s amazing to me that no one much talks about this — about the fact that whatever our founders and framers thought of as a literate, informed citizenry can no longer exist, at least not without a whole new modern degree of subcontracting and dependence packed into what we mean by ‘informed.’
(сноска, натурально:) Hence, by the way, the seduction of partisan dogma. You can drown in dogmatism now, too―radio, Internet, cable, commercial and scholarly print―but this kind of drowning is much like sweet release. Whether hard right or new left or whatever, the seduction and mentality are the same. You don't have to feel confused or inundated or ignorant.
Несколько дальше:
In sum, to really try to be informed and literate today is to feel stupid nearly all the time, and to need help. Вот: это, наконец, в точности про меня, какая удача.
